A private family app: database in Zurich, no ads, no third-party trackers
A family app holds doctor's appointments, children's names, addresses and sometimes passwords. That's why it's worth checking where that data lives and who can see it.
Five questions for any family app
- Where is the database?
- Are there ads or third-party analytics?
- How does the company make money: from the plan or from your data?
- Can you export your data and delete your account yourselves?
- Are passwords end-to-end encrypted?
How Beeside handles it
- The database is in Zurich, Switzerland.
- No ads, no third-party analytics or crash reporting, no selling of data.
- Beeside is funded by subscriptions.
- Exporting all your data as a file and deleting your account happen in settings, no form needed.
- The vault is end-to-end encrypted.
- How well getting started works is measured by Beeside itself, with a random installation identifier that isn't linked to your account or family.
What still leaves Switzerland
To be clear: some service providers work outside Switzerland, for example for hosting the website, sending sign-in codes and the AI behind quick add. Which ones and what for is listed in full in the privacy policy. You can turn the server AI off.
